Hi Vitaliy,

On 2024-03-09 21:53:51, I wrote to you:

This one also works with putty (which is set to use utf-8 as charset).

 WvV>>> # sudo -u fido LANG=en_US.CP850 /usr/local/bin/golded -f

I'll probably switch to this setup since it also works with putty.

Switching from 'linux' to 'putty' makes things worse:

Also some keys, like the F3 key stopped working. So I keep my terminal type as 
'linux'.

'putty-256color' makes no difference.


Bye, Wilfred.
